points bet, sports book bucks and Packers at 11 and a half.
49ers Rams Cowboys
10 and a half and then you got everybody else in a
conference that I think is
look, I've first one first. One that jumped out to me. Packers
are too high to 11 and a half. Now, I know son.
I know that they have six cupcakes in their division and
I know they play, I think the
who they play this year. It was 22.
Visions that weren't all that difficult. The AFC North
no, no. No, they really played the AFC North
AFC East and the NFC East. I think are the the,
the two divisions where they play every team. And of course,
every team in the NFC North plays those, those same eight
teams, even then,
and I know they've won 13 games three years in a row, but you
take Davante Adams out of the mix. And I think it becomes
a little more challenging.
I agree for the Green Bay Packer. I mean, I'm
I'm with you and that dude. That's the one that jumped out
to me. I think more than any other when I looked at it,
I just went wait, the Packers
like the team that
you know
already last year was not as good as a healthy Buccaneers
49ers around. So ball team and now they lost the guy their
most dependent on to their success. Other than Aaron
Rodgers.
I don't see that.
You know? Again you, you said it, right? I mean, yeah, their
schedules a little bit, favorable your division, but
I would think your division is going to be Better up there.
I mean, Minnesota is going to have,
you know, a different look, a different vibe. That's not
always easy to deal with. We know the Lions, they seem like
they're headed in the right direction, the Bears,
Justin fields, and Company,
you know, it's not a great Division. I understand that but
I still, I guess lay I'm like you I'm bearish on the Packers
for sure. I think again, they're going to win
the division. I would expect that and they'll still be one of
the major players in the
NF c--, but I just don't look at their team
and think On the same level of some of those other top teams
in the conference.
Yeah,
the Rams are too low at 10 and a half.
I know they've got the 49ers in the Cardinals in the Seahawks,
but I mean, come on. We don't know what the 49ers going to be
with Trey Lance. Assuming. He's even the quarterback,
the Cardinals. What do you know about them? They're going to
start strong and fade down the stretch unless they somehow
break. That Trend that goes
all the way back to 2013, 4, Kliff Kingsbury, and
the Seahawks are just kind of floating around aimlessly. So
and I think, I just think that I said this last week. I think
we're sleeping on the ramps, like, last year, all
the Buccaneers. They're going to repeat all there. Why are we
saying that about the Rams?
I don't know. Everybody else in the NFC is taking a step back.
And I know the Rams have lost some guys, but I feel better
about the Rams right now from the standpoint of holding their
spot. Then I do any of the other teams out of the box, but
they don't have a head. I mean, look, I know that. I know that
we have are our opinions and our theories about
Who ordered the code red with Bruce Arians but Bruce Arians
is still gone. Chris, we talked about that last Thursday. He's
still gone. They're not going to have him on game days.
They're going to have a different head coach that
changes the Dynamics for the Tampa
Bay Buccaneers that hurts. The Buccaneers that is an element
of uncertainty that is going to potentially undermine their
efforts to be as good as they can. Be of all the ran out of
all the teams in the NFC. I feel like the Rams of the ones
that are in the
best position to equal if not exceed what they did last year,
II would think
So I mean I'm with you
again, you know, there's no Odell Beckham jr. As right.
Now, as of right now, there's no bond Miller
takes away from their team a little bit from what we saw,
but they had, they were a team of kind of banged up and
injured towards the end of the year too.
They still got a pretty good receiving Corps with Van
Jefferson Cooper cup. The tight ends are pretty good.
You know, it's we know McVeigh and the offense going to have
proper game plans. You're going to have Cam Akers back healthy.
100% didn't have him all year
and the other things I look at to just go,
wait basic, football, knowledge. Would tell me
you're too. And Raheem Morris is defensive system, might be
better, Matthew Stafford year to and McVeigh system, and
being more comfortable. But expect that to be better.
And and right there applying
we said was the NFC South
and the AFC West, right? So it's not an easy schedule.
That's for sure. But the NFC South as it looks right now
you'd go. Well. Thank you. Thank you for having that on
this. Jewel
other than the Bucks
I think any of those teams are going to look at it and go.
Well, we're not sure what the Saints are. There's no Jean
Paden Atlanta's total and a rebuild Carolina.
I don't even know who their quarterback is going to be yet.
We don't know what's going on there. So I'm with you. I think
people are sleeping on the Rams a little bit. No doubt. I still
look at the Rams.
The 49ers
and the Buccaneers to be elite football teams. Yeah, there's
some questions here and there we get that but I just look at
them and go man. There are so well-rounded. And so many areas
and Elite and more than one areas on their football. Team,
their roster
that I just stood there going to, they're going to say
something about 20 22 football,
any of them jump out to you, other than the Rams, it seemed
on the low side, the low side there.
I don't know of anyone jumps out to me. I can't say that.
I got one. You got one. Which one is the Saints? The Saints at
seven-and-a-half? That's probably the only one I looked
at in that column to go air.
Defense is still awesome. We got that
Jameis. Winston yet another year being a starting
quarterback and Alvin Kamara. Stay healthy.
I hear you there a team to look at and then like we just talked
about the NFC South time, in Carolina, Atlanta. They're
certainly not going to be anything special. I hear you.
The Saints would be one. I think about
The reality, though is look
there's a lot of teams in single digits. Some of those
teams are going to sail over. Tell you we don't but that's
that's part of the fun of it. We don't know which teams are
going to have the planets line up, just right. And as you said
and this is an excellent point, you said
it last segment. Let's say it again,
how your schedule is constructed
which games you have early. I mean you can come out of
the first months of season 4 and 0 or own for depending upon which
of your games. Land
in those first four spot, right and where they're at, and
right? You're going to feel very very differently, right?
Very differently, about where things go from there. So that's
that's a very real practical concern and it would give you
a reason
to not rush to buy your ticket.
Although if you want to feel free,
but you have more information
when the schedules are locked in and you'll get a sense, you
know, one of these teams that's not supposed to be very good.
Well, they get all their easy game right out of ya.
You know, you've seen it happening and we you've seen it
on the inside. We've seen it on the outside a team that has not
really clear expectation for what is going to be in a given
year. They get their easy games first and they get that
4 and 0 Record, 5 and 0 0, 5 and 1
and then they embark on their tougher. Stretch. They're in
a better position to go win those games because they have greater
confidence in themselves than they would, if they're getting
their asses kicked all over the place to start the season. 100%
It, does it built? It
builds confidence. That's what it does have.
Builds confidence, it builds momentum.
You start to learn little nuances of, oh, wait. This is
why we won the football game. We did this. Well, you know, we
eliminated that. So that starts to filter through the team as
far as how to apply that way.
I think it's a very real aspect within the NFL building
and if you can, yeah, you know, have an easy schedule and then
all the sudden, maybe steal a game. You weren't supposed to
steal or win a game against a Tina.
Then you start sitting there going. Oh, we're good. Well,
we're good.
Well, we got a chance here, to really set ourselves up. Maybe
we get a home playoff game, and then just again, then it's just
it catches fire.
That's what happens within an organization. And that's what
that early part of the schedule can do last year. I was trying
to look at it. Like, was there a team last year?
That kind of jumped out that way
that you look at to go,
you know, they kind of did that it. I kind of
I look at the Cowboys a little, I'm trying to think of any
other teams. I know they started with the bucks, but
they got chargers and Week 2,
with a Brandon Staley, taking over the team, the Eagles are
still trying to figure themselves out the Carolina
Panthers, you know, they were a new team, then they got
the Giants and I'm just trying, I was trying to think of like,
you
know, teams that are set up that way,
the opposite, of course was the Colts. Like we talked about in
the first segment and that important that first four
weeks, very important to how it can can set up a football team.
